Captain Jack Hussey, the hero of Castle
Garden and the owner of twenty medals
for saving men and women from drown
ing. was shot and mortally wounded just
outside of o. McEvoy's saloon, corner of
Jackson and Cherry streets, of twenty
minutes after II last night by Policeman
Edward Hahn of the Delaney street sta
tion. Both men were pretty we'll under
the influence of liquor. 1t was Hahn's
day of, and he had been on the police
mans excursion to Excelsior B. Hussey
had been at work all day at Castle Garden
and returned to his home, 80 Jackson
street, opposite McEvoy's place, pretty
well tired out
He lay down for a nap after his supper
and got up shortly after 8 o'clock, and in
his bare feet and with his fifteen-year-old
daughter strolled out in Jackson street
toward Grand. He crossed over Grand
and went into Poet William Geoghegan's
place.
Hahn was there, and Hussey and he be-
gan drinking. Hussey's little daughter
left her father in the place. Hahn and
Hussey remained in Mr.. Geoghegans
place about an hour, and drinks were re-
peatedly called for and swallowed.
As they drank, Hahn, who was in plain
clothes, began to grow ugly, and said
number of sharp things to Hussev. Hus-
sey was disposed to be jovial, but at last
he left the place, saying that he had got
past his quarreling days.
He went back to jackson street, and
Hahn followed him, and continued to say
ugly things and dared Hussey to fight
him. Hussey went into McEvoy's place
at Cherry and Jackson street, and Hahn
followed, applying epithets to him, and
saying 1.-The old man is no good"
Hussey became angry, and said to Hahn;
go away; you are only boy copper"
This enraged Hahn, and he stepped up
to Hussey to strike him. Hussey met him
half way and said:
If you don't go away I'll smack you,
old man as am"
By this time they had edged toward the
door and, when just outside of it, Hahn
pulled out his revolver and said:
"Tll show you whether I'm boy cop
per-"
He fired one shot at Hussey. 1t didn't
hit Hussey and as Hahn turned and
walked along Jackson street, Toward
Grand, Hussey followed him.
Half way up the block Ham turned and
fired three more shots at Hussey, one of
which struck him in the abdomen and
passed through his liver.
Policeman Dewey of the Delaney street
station ran up, collared Hahn and took
him before Hussey who was still on his
feet. Hussy walked with Dewey and
Hahn to his home at 80 Jackson street
and sent up stairs for his coat. He then
walked with the officers to the Gouverneur
street hospital, three blocks away.
He identified Hahn as the man who shot
him, and Dewey took Hahn to the station
where Sergeant Marrett locked him up.
DR.. 0'Hanlon did not probe, Hussey's
wound. The DR.. said that Hussey would
probably die, but if laparotomy would
save him that would probably be resorted
to.
At the Delancey street station Sergeant
Connor, who relieved Sergeant Marrett,
said that he did't know any thing about
any shooting, that no arrest had been
made and no report of any shooting had
been sent in. He awoke Sergeant Marrett
and asked him about il and came back
and said: Sergeant Marrett didn't know
about the shooting"
Sergeant Connor said that Hahn wasn't
in the station under arrest, and that Hahn
could be seen only by going to his home
$40 East Seventy seventh street.
Capt. Hussey is so years old, and has
saved thirty five persons from drowning.
He has wife and four children.
Hahn has been ON the force one year
and was formerly barkeeper for Pat
rick Hickey.
